SBA disaster assistance allows people and businesses to apply for low-interest loans with favorable conditions. The Small Business Administration is separate from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA. The county still does not know if it will recieve aid from FEMA.

Residents can stop in at the York County Office of Emergency Management facility, 120 Davies Dr., York, PA 17402, for personal help in applying for the financial assistance. The SBA will be in York County through next week, including Saturday.

The SBA's declaration covers Lancaster and York counties and the contiguous counties of Adams, Berks, Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin and Lebanon in Pennsylvania as well as Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil and Harford in Maryland.
